Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Distributed Computing
  • Enterprise Architecture

Background:

  • Healthcare organizations face challenges in inter-enterprise integration and collaboration.
  • Regional Health Economies (RHE) present a model for understanding varying collaboration needs.
  • Existing IT infrastructures often lack seamless integration for regional healthcare delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the PICNIC architecture for supporting inter-enterprise integration in healthcare.
  • To present a framework for establishing functional Regional Health Care Networks (RHCN).
  • To cater to the diverse needs of stakeholders including policymakers, healthcare providers, and patients.

Main Methods:

  • The PICNIC architecture is conceptualized through multiple stakeholder-relevant views.
